pump systems
 he choice of circuit

T balancing valves for any

construction project
makes an important difference to
the long-term energy efficiency of
the building and the satisfaction
of tenants. Sizing and selection, as
well as ease of installation are im-
portant considerations. In addition
to those factors, contractors will
want a balancing solution that
have considerable benefits:

key benefits
Fits easily into confined spaces
Provides accurate flow control for fast and accurate balancing
Simplifies the process of adjusting and fine tuning system flow

Our industry-leading design innovations have made Armstrong Circuit Balancing Valves
the trusted choice of balancing valves for contractors, engineers and building owners.

½" – 2" Armflo valves offer Both the ½"– 2" Armflo valves
and the 2½"– 6" valves offer
Easy installation:
installs at any angle Easy pressure measurement

Extreme flow control accuracy Simplified process of adjusting

and fine-tuning balancing
Stable pressure drop across the
valve improves balancing accuracy
